We are raising money in the memory of our colleague Zaki El-Hassan. Although Zaki passed away the impact of his life, his caring nature and work ethos have stayed with us.

To honour his memory we are collecting donations for Sudan, the birthplace of our colleague. If a place with so much suffering and conflict can give birth to a human like Zaki that put others above himself till the end, it is the least we can do to support his outlook in life.

With the war spreading across Sudan, it is now the largest displacement crisis on earth. The armed conflict has displaced an estimated 15 million people, 53% of whom are children. Many are living in temporary camps where conditions are abysmal.

Famine is spreading fast and desperate families face a daily struggle to get food as young children starve to death in cities, villages and displacement camps

Around 28,700 people are estimated to have been killed, but the real death toll is likely to be much higher as fatalities are believed to be underreported. The death toll from hunger, disease and lack of basic services could rise far higher. 

Communities are reporting horrific violence such as mass rape of women and civilians being enslaved or buried alive. Diseases such as cholera and dengue fever are also rife, as most people lack access to healthcare.

The people of Sudan need our help. Donate to Sudan to support those in need today.
